Read the passage and describe the strategies usual in your environment

With the exception of videoconferencing, there is no opportunity for paralinguistic features such as gesture. To compensate, users have developed a number of strategies which account for the linguistic features of text-based CMC including: abbreviations and acronyms, e.g. LOL, simplified syntax – subject and modal deletion (C U L8R), tolerance of surface errors – typographical/spelling errors, symbols and exclamation marks, etc. to express emotional meaning e.g. Yeees!!, symbols indicating emotions called emoticons e.g. L, formulaic phrases, emotes, to display action in a chat room, e.g. looks round nervously. Discourse features vary from mode to mode but for e-mails include omitting salutations and quoting previous messages in whole or part.
